Control Systems Engineering made Easy: Motivating Students through Experimentation on UAVs

This paper focuses on a new elective course on modeling and control of multi-agent systems, with experimentation on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The module is taught for students with basic knowledge in Automatic Control and Optimization and it intends to increase their interest in applying advanced control techniques on UAVs in an enjoyable framework favorable to develop creativity, practical and team working skills, together with a solid and persistent theoretical background.
